HOW TO CHOOSE THE PERFECT FABRIC FOR YOUR BESPOKE CURTAINS AND BLINDS

Roman Blind made in Palma Sol Blue Trio printed linen.

Kicking off 2026 with a spotlight on Curtains and Blinds.

Our bespoke curtain and roman blind making service is one that customers and interior designers return to time and time again – and for good reason! Every curtain and blind we create is made to measure specifically for your windows and your room by our expert makers, who love what they do. From the initial fabric choice through to lining, fullness, heading style and drape, every detail is carefully considered, resulting in beautifully balanced linen curtains or roman blinds that hang effortlessly and suit the scale and style of the space.

All of our curtains and Roman blinds are made exclusively in Zoe Glencross fabrics, most of which are printed onto linen, chosen for its natural texture and longevity. Linen is a luxurious natural fibre with a quiet, relaxed quality that brings warmth to interiors. It adds depth and character whether used as bespoke linen curtains or roman blinds, particularly in calm or neutral interiors where fabric plays a key role in creating interest without overpowering the room. We really love linen’s quiet, relaxed and sustainable qualities.

We appreciate that everyone has a different approach to pattern and colour. Choosing your fabric is about what works with you/your personality and how you use the room, as well as the atmosphere you want to create and the style and architectural design of your home. If you’re new to pattern and colour we might suggest a classic stripe or muted tones. If you’re in a rural setting we might suggest you take a look at the Meadowlands Collection with it’s organic shapes, mottled textures and motifs. You might like the swirling Whirlwind fabric from the New Elements Collection which looks whimsical as blinds or curtains and can really dress a window!

We understand that choosing fabric can feel overwhelming, especially when you want something that will last and won’t date so we are delighted to be able to help you with your choice by advising you over the phone. We are more than happy to take a look at photos of your room, if you would like to send them by email in order to advise you and will often be able to send you examples of your selected fabrics shortlist, showing you how they look like made up as curtains and blinds. A common worry is whether pattern will suit or overpower a room and being able to see photos of homes featuring our printed linens will help you visualise. We can also help with co-ordinating paint colours which may well save you a lot of time and money spent on tester pots!

When it comes to measuring we will happily guide you through the process (contact bespoke@zoeglencross.com to email your questions or arrange a call back). You can always be guided using our FAQs page where you will find a measuring guide.

Most importantly, bespoke made curtains and blinds feels personal. It reflects individuality and helps a house feel lived-in and loved - which is why Zoe Glencross bespoke curtains and Roman blinds don’t just dress windows, they define spaces and bring lasting character to your home!
